Unique little wooden churches found on Estonia islands give you glimpses into spiritual world of the early habitants, the Ruhnu church is the only surviving former pagan church in Europe now used by Lutherans.
Ancient Estonian cemeteries are unique in Europe as our ancestors buried their loved ones in the woods forming circle stone gravesites. Those interested in really different cemeteries should visit Vormsi- it is the only place where you can see Celtic crosses from XVII century.
Native “pagan” Estonians were animists and believed in the Gods of nature, even nowadays you can visit the sacred groves (called “hiied”) worshipped in the ancient Taara religion. Estonia is full sacrificial stones, where you can leave your gift to the Gods and ask for happiness, children, endless love, better health or simply money.
Close to Tallinn near Pirita Harbour and beach is ruins of Pirita Convent. Convent was destroyed and initially abandoned due Livonic War 1558 – 1583 and by fire in 1564.
These tours are not only for religious people, but also for history and architecture lovers and people interested in old “pagan” Estonia.
